Cleaning the Humidifi er and the Water Tank
Many regions have hard water with high
concentrations of minerals. When water evaporates
from the Care Free Ultra Evaporative Humidifi er,
®
minerals may be left behind. These minerals can
form a hard white scale which can be removed by
following the cleaning instructions. The frequency
of cleaning due to mineral build-up varies
depending on the quality of water you have.
1. Turn the Power Knob to OFF and un-
plug the humidifi er.
2. Remove the Water Tank and carry it
to a sink or a tub. Unscrew the Tank Cap by
twisting it counterclockwise and empty any
water in the Water Tank.
3. Lift the Power Pack and locate the
three tabs on the top of the Funnel Pump
Assembly. Press the three tabs in and remove
the Funnel Pump by pulling away from the
underside of the fan blade.
4. Remove the Pump Cap from the Funnel
Pump by holding the Pump Cap securely in
one hand while twisting the Funnel Pump in
a clockwise direction. This will unlock the two
components. See Figures 12a and 12b.
